Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
On July 26, 2024, Biotricity Inc. (the “Company”), received a letter (the “Letter”) from the staff of The Nasdaq Capital Market LLC (the “Nasdaq Capital Market”) stating that the Company’s closing bid price for the last 30 consecutive business days was less than $1.00 per share. As a result, the Company does not satisfy the continued listing requirement to maintain a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share, as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Bid Price Rule”). The notification had no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market.
Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A) provides a compliance period of 180 calendar days, or until January 22, 2025 (the “Compliance Date”), to regain compliance. If at any time during this 180-day period the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock is at least $1.00 for a minimum of ten consecutive business days, the Company will regain compliance. If the Company is unable to regain compliance before the Compliance Date, the Company may be eligible for an additional 180 calendar days to satisfy the Bid Price Rule. To qualify, the Company will be required to meet the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards for the Nasdaq Capital Market with the exception of the bid price requirement, and will need to provide written notice of its intention to cure the deficiency during such additional compliance period, by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary. If the Company does not regain compliance by the Compliance Date and is not eligible for the additional compliance period at that time, the Nasdaq Capital Market will provide written notification to the Company that its common stock may be delisted. The Company intends to monitor the closing bid price of its common stock and may, if appropriate, consider available options to regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule.
